It's a wrap on our 2-month pilot for dense-sampling MEG + physio, sleep EEG, and cardiorespiratory interoception across the menstrual cycle! Incredible job by @janafehring.bsky.social, Mia Höfig, Alina Kacharovskaya, Sana Khatib and everyone at @bodybrainbehaviour.bsky.social On to more data! 🧠🟦
Latest preprint from @bodybrainbehaviour.bsky.social by @teresaberther.bsky.social and @martinasaltafossi.bsky.social on cardio-respiratory modulation of arousal and excitability states in the human brain - overlap, distinctions, and implications for brain-body #neuroskyence. osf.io/preprints/ps...
Out now in @natcomms.nature.com, our latest from @bodybrainbehaviour.bsky.social: Visual perception, oscillatory excitability markers, and network connectivity are modulated by the breathing rhythm - depending on how much you know about the stimulus. #brainbody #neuroskyence
Respiration as a dynamic modulator of sensory sampling

Incredibly excited to finally share this project! Most heartfelt thanks to everyone involved for their support 🫶🏻 Looking forward to much more gut-brain research to come!
Daniel S. Kluger@danlikesbrains.bsky.social · 5mo agoNew @bodybrainbehaviour.bsky.social preprint, and this is a big one for the lab: @teresaberther.bsky.social did the deepest of dives into #gut-brain coupling with MEG and HD gastrography. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... A brief 🧵on our first trip into this corner of #brain-body #neuroskyence:
